COVID-19 Update

COVID-19 continues apace, although the Growth Rates seem to be steadying up at about 1.03. Which means they're still in line with the Exponential thing, but it's low.

And I can't believe I just wrote that - "People are still dying at an alarming rate, but hey - it could be worse - it's not as bad as it was a while ago" (?)

And there you have it. That's pretty much the entire message we've been getting from President Stoopid's daily episodes of Gaslight Theater for months now. 

I must atone.




And it looks like California's about to get it's 2nd wave.


The crowd that descended on the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Main Street was significantly larger than a demonstration at the same site near the Huntington Beach Pier two weeks ago. The raucous protest included people carrying banners that read “All jobs are essential” and “Freedom: We the people.” One person had a sign that said “Recall Gavin Newsom.”

Parents walked hand-in-hand with children to the now-closed beach, while protesters, some bringing their dogs, arrived on bikes, skateboards and scooters. Several shared their grievances through chants, signs and occasional songs.

While some protesters wore face coverings, most neither wore masks nor followed social distancing guidelines of six feet of separation. Police officers on horseback monitored protesters while others ushered attendees across Pacific Coast Highway in an effort to keep traffic moving.


Luckily, the idiots are relatively few, but that's kind of a big fucking problem when it comes to infectious disease. Plus, it makes us look like The Stoopid States Of America.
